Default weight reduction

I want to get my integra down to 94 Integra LS 2300 lbs. if possible. The following is what i have done so far:
remove ac
remove ps
remove cruise
remove antenna motor
remove windsheild wiper resevor and tubes
remove rear wiper
remove spare tire
remove tools
removed rear carpet in trunk
remove rear panel to tailights
remove rear tar
remove front tow hooks
remove all exhaust heat shields
remove whole exhuast system (open dp, not loud)
remove all four brake heat sheilds
remove front tranny and AC mounts (i have hasports replacements, these dont do ****)


few more things, but i dont remember. any more suggestions? some free weight reduction if poosible. what do you think im weighing in at right now?

things that may have added weight would be my turbo kit (rev hard 2c), i have full type R interior, dont know if thats any lighter or heavier... next i think im gonna do a RS brake line conversion and a CF hood.

itr interior is fo show

get bucket seats that weigh half as much as normal seats

get rid of the stereo and buy an ipod or similar mp3 player with some good sennheiser headphones.

al. itr radiator

2 piece floating rotors with wilwood or similar light calipers

lightweight wheels

not very fun, but scrub off all the dirt and collected crap on the bottom of hte car.

get basic fiberglass side panels instead of stock ones.

dump your gf and go exercise more and you will have a light weght car

I dont have much weight reduction done, but I will be starting pretty soon.

is the a/c system weigh around 60lbs?

That's all i pulled off the car..yes it has a sunroof..turbo kit with intercooler, full exhaust..i took all the ac lines off, but they didn't really weigh much..The compressor isn't that heavy either..I might have kept a/c except it was out of the car when i bought it..i weighed the car at Texas Motorplex..

Always a good idea...

I ripped out my interior and got some 5/8" cloth from hobby lobby and used it..I saved some weight plus the hobby lobby crap weights not even a pound.
